Answer

a) $11*\sqrt 5/12$ b) $\sqrt[3]{3x}/6$

Work Step by Step

a) $\sqrt{20}/3 + \sqrt 5 /4$ $4*\sqrt{20}/3*4 + 3*\sqrt 5 /4*3$ $4*\sqrt{20}/12 + 3*\sqrt 5 /12$ $(4*\sqrt {20} + 3\sqrt 5)/12$ $(4*\sqrt {4*5} + 3\sqrt 5)/12$ $(4*\sqrt 4*\sqrt 5 + 3\sqrt 5)/12$ $(4*2*\sqrt 5 + 3\sqrt 5)/12$ $(8*\sqrt 5 + 3\sqrt 5)/12$ $11*\sqrt 5/12$ b) $\sqrt[3]{24x/27} - \sqrt[3]{3x}/2$ $\sqrt[3]{24x/3^3} - \sqrt[3]{3x}/2$ $\sqrt[3]{24x}/3 - \sqrt[3]{3x}/2$ $2*\sqrt[3]{24x}/3*2 – 3*\sqrt[3]{3x}/2*3$ $2*\sqrt[3]{24x}/6 – 3*\sqrt[3]{3x}/6$ $2*\sqrt[3]{8*3x}/6 – 3*\sqrt[3]{3x}/6$ $2*\sqrt[3]{3x}*\sqrt[3]{8}/6 – 3*\sqrt[3]{3x}/6$ $2*\sqrt[3]{3x}*2/6 – 3*\sqrt[3]{3x}/6$ $4*\sqrt[3]{3x}/6 – 3*\sqrt[3]{3x}/6$ $\sqrt[3]{3x}/6$
